PATRIARCHS, DATES AND SUCCESSION OF. Significant dates in the lives of notable persons from the past, particularly from the ancient past, are often a matter of conjecture. In some cases a paucity of historical source material makes it impossible to determine when particular events took place, and in other instances discrepancies in the sources that are extant make such a determination frustratingly tenuous. Since such uncertainty is a feature of the biographical data available for many of the Coptic patriarchs, the following list can give only the approximate dates for some of these leaders. For the period up to 1243 the table relies solely on the History of the Patriarchs compiled by Sawirus ibn al- Muqaffa‘. Supplementary sections of subsequent writers and editors provide the dates for the remaining patriarchs.
Writers following other sources will give dates for some of the patriarchs that vary slightly from those listed below. Thus, some
discrepancy in patriarchs' dates may be found within The Coptic Encyclopedia.
In the list below the provenance of each patriarch has been designated in a separate column, and the rulers of Egypt during each
patriarchal reign have been listed in another column. The list has been classified into sections representing the main historical periods: Greco-Roman and Byzantine, medieval Arab, modern, and contemporary. Full biographies of all patriarchs have been included in the body of our alphabetized text, save in the case of the present patriarch, whose dates are recorded but whose life critique has to be deferred until after the end of his tenure for an objective evaluation of his total work and service.

| Description | (CE:1913b-1920a) PATRIARCHS, DATES AND SUCCESSION OF. Significant dates in the lives of notable persons from the past, particularly from the ancient past, are often a matter of conjecture. In some cases a paucity of historical source material makes it impossible to determine when particular events took place, and in other instances discrepancies in the sources that are extant make such a determination frustratingly tenuous. Since such uncertainty is a feature of the biographical data available for many of the Coptic patriarchs, the following list can give only the approximate dates for some of these leaders. For the period up to 1243 the table relies solely on the History of the Patriarchs compiled by Sawirus ibn al- Muqaffa‘. Supplementary sections of subsequent writers and editors provide the dates for the remaining patriarchs. Writers following other sources will give dates for some of the patriarchs that vary slightly from those listed below. Thus, some discrepancy in patriarchs' dates may be found within The Coptic Encyclopedia. In the list below the provenance of each patriarch has been designated in a separate column, and the rulers of Egypt during each patriarchal reign have been listed in another column. The list has been classified into sections representing the main historical periods: Greco-Roman and Byzantine, medieval Arab, modern, and contemporary. Full biographies of all patriarchs have been included in the body of our alphabetized text, save in the case of the present patriarch, whose dates are recorded but whose life critique has to be deferred until after the end of his tenure for an objective evaluation of his total work and service.

| Bibliography | Kamil Salih Nakhlah. Kitab Tarikh wa-Jadawil Batarikat al- Iskandariyyah. Cairo, 1943. This work contains most references to the ancient original lists of the patriarchs and their dates compiled from older manuscripts by a number of writers, mainly medieval. These are preserved in manuscripts in the Patriarchal Library and the Library of the Coptic Museum, Cairo. The main compilations used by Nakhlah include the works of al-Safi ibn al-‘Assal, Abu Shakir ibn al-Rahib, Abu al-Barakat ibn Kabar, Sawirus ibn al- Muqaffa‘, and Yusab, bishop of Fuwwah, all medieval (eleventh to fourteenth centuries). All use the Anno Martyri calendar, which is quoted by Nakhlah. We have converted these dates to the Anno Domini (Gregorian) calendar and based our own compilation on the History of the Patriarchs by Sawirus ibn al-Muqaffa‘ (eleventh century). Modern dates have also been adopted from later writers of the new sections of the same history. Bacharach, Jere L. A Middle East Studies Handbook. Seattle and London, 1984.
